About Sozo Educentre

The Sozo Educentre is our after-school tutoring and mentorship programme for high school learners from the Vrygrond community. Educentre provides a safe space for 105 high school learners (between the ages of 13 – 18 years) to be equipped and empowered within their own community to achieve their full potential.

The Need

Social Issues
Lack of Discipline
Overcrowded Schools & Home

Poor Role Models
Limited Resources
Lack of Academic & Parental Support

The mission: To see every child finish high school successfully and to assist each learner with post-schooling opportunities that will lead to a dignified job.

What we provide

Tutoring
We provide Educentre students with the intensive academic support that they desperately need to succeed in school and beyond.
Nutritious Meals
Learning on an empty stomach is almost impossible. That’s why we provide our students with a nutritious meal every day.
Computer Literacy
At Educentre, learners are given access to a wealth of information on the internet. They are taught how to use a computer as well as navigate the internet to aid learning.

Psycho-social Intervention
Our social worker provides emotional support to our learners, as well as their families, helping them to navigate tough situations and challenges they may be facing.
Mentoring
Our learners are guided and supported by mentors, all of which are full-time staff members at Sozo.
Career Inspiring Initiatives
We inspire our learners to succeed beyond high school by exposing them to career and study options.
